Update your Find-A-Church profile

Developed by United Methodist Communications, Find-A-Church helps you to connect with busy people in your community on their terms, on their time and in their comfort zone. It also serves as a companion to your church’s existing website—giving you twice the local visibility online.

Find-A-Church is the official online directory of United Methodist churches in the United States. It is one of the most visited sections of UMC.org, averaging more than 1,000 page views a day.

You’ll achieve the best results from your Find-A-Church profile when you update your church’s information. Here are five reasons why:

An updated profile is more relevant to your visitors’ needs.

You can link to your Facebook page, Twitter feed, Instagram and Flickr accounts

Visitors can search activities through the online calendar.

As worship schedules change (Christmas, Easter, etc.), you can edit as needed.

Coming soon…you can create events and manage registrations.
